Bristol to Bondi...Part 2

14 September 2013

I had every intention of getting my next posts up A.SAP...I didn't factor in the fact that the jet lag was gonna' hit me as hard as sledgehammer slung by the strongest person in the world, twice!...Since coming back I was straight back to work for 2 days and have crammed in getting my hair cut and coloured and some sleep...I still haven't unpacked!!So anyways, here goes...The next part of the adventure in Oz (read part 1 here).

Day 2...The best thing about the spontaneous trip is that nothing was planned and we kinda' just made it up as we went along...Andrea and I are exactly the same, we don't do sitting around all that well. Naturally, I was awake from 4am and trying to work out when was socially acceptable to run and jump on her bed!! After she (finally) stirred we spent quality time going through her wardrobe, trying on, swapping clothes, putting looks together and then we darted into Sydney for a 'quick' trip around the shops..;

This little haul is about an hours work... Andrea and I have always shopped very well together! Training stopped play (shopping that is) ...Not just any old training, training with her insane (but bloody lovely) PT, Andrew! I'm not sure Andrew (of gold medal fame, no less) quite realised what had hit him when we both whirl winded into the gym...Still a great sessions that I could feel 3 days after!!

I remained bright red for about 2 hours after!

Andrea getting her sweat ON!

That evening we went into Sydney for pre-dinner cocktails at the award winning Eau De Vie. The surroundings, drinks, ambiance and company were truly fantastic!! What we wore..;

Joined by the gorgeous Mel who, introduced me to my next favourite Aussie Store...

We dined at The Victoria Rooms, if you ever find yourself in Sydney, you MUST! Basically it like tapas (so you just order loads of dishes) but, the variety and quality is In.Cred.I.Ble...;

Looks like you had an amazing time Karen, really love the leopard print bangle...it reminds me of mine which I brought last year from Banana Republic just before they sold out. Looking forward to part 3 of your trip x
